About The Incident

The incident occurred around 7 pm in front of the 25th Masjid in Malvani. Gujjar had returned to plot 50 to park his cab, which belonged to businessman Ateeq Ansari. Farooque Sheikh and Awez Shaikh demanded money from him. When Gujjar refused, a scuffle broke out, and he was stabbed multiple times.

Sahil’s uncle, Hasan Gujjar, said, “After the quarrel, Shaikh called his accomplices, and nearly 20 to 30 members of the 313 gang arrived and assaulted him, causing him to collapse.” Gujjar was scheduled to get married on August 30.
